I had a good impression about Germany through this trip, though I had visited only a part of its southern area. I looked for the reasons why I thought like that, and got to think as follows.
At first, German people were kind and polite in general. I felt friendly toward them. Germany has its own long history and it was just like Japan. Streets were clean and it was safe. The punctuality of the German trains also surprised me. I didn't expect it before leaving Japan.
I admit that I had watched only very restricted aspects of Germany, so my knowledge about Germany would be shallow or superficial. It made me think I've got to learn more about Germany.
On the other hand, I had to buy mineral water in Germany. In Japan, I can drink the tap water. Additionally, there were few public toilets in the street. It was always distressing to me.
However, I like Germany. I should have visited in my younger days. Now, I'm not sure, but Germany would be like Canada for me. I mean, when I was in Canada for my first visit, I got to love it, and finally I got to visit Whistler in Canada again and again. I would repeat visiting Germany from now. Now, let's start adding to my German vocabulary.
